Is that Steam trying to update itself not a game? If so I've had a similar problem where it justs seems to stop and do nothing. Checking my network traffic it became apparent that nothing is being downloaded. Close down Steam and start it again and it 'kicks' itself back into life - works for me.

I used to use ZA, I eventually ditched it after it frequently started causing problems with various online apps including Steam and C&C Generals. I'm now running Sygate instead
